INTRODUCTION. 



Whether the Word of God is read systematically and for 
devotional purposes to so great an extent as in former years 
may be doubted. There are many indications that it is not. 
But that it is studied and examined for teaching purposes 
much more generally, that is, by a greater number and with 
greater attention to details, is believed by those who have the 
best opportunity to form a correct opinion. The change that 
has taken place in the methods of Sabbath-school instruction 
is unquestionably very great; and it is, in some respects, a 
decided improvement. We do not think that every alteration 
is for the better. Radical changes drop something of real 
value because it will not incorporate with the main principle 
of the reformation. The present method of Bible teaching 
and study, is pre-eminently one of questioning. Every thing 
that can be known of the Bible, of its mountains, rivers and 
seas, its minerals and metals, its plants, beasts and fishes, as 
well as its tabernacle and temples, its prophets, patriarchs and 
apostles, its kings, judges and priests, its singers and players 
upon instruments, its mighty men and those who were ob- 
scure, its women, children and youth, its implements of agri-

culture and its weapons of war, its architecture, music, poetry 
and oratory, its weights and measures, its genealogy and 
chronology, its civil and ecclesiastical polity is searched out. 
Hence there is a great demand for Bible dictionaries, hand 
books and cyclopaedias, the sale of which is constantly in 
creasing, the demand for books of this class being the meas- 
ure of their usefulness and their use. The light of cotem- 
poraneous profane history is thrown upon the Bible as never 
before; and analogies drawn from other religions are em- 
ployed to assist in the understanding of God's Word. Two 
things are now recognized; viz., that he who does not un- 
derstand the Bible, does not understand human history, and 
that he who knows nothing but the Bible, can not fully un- 
derstand that. Therefore the Bible as now taught not only re- 
quires but communicates much collateral knowledge. There 
is a law of the operation of the mind which has given rise to 
the unique compilation, herewith offered to the public, which 
is this; the philosophy of facts is remembered by many, much 
more easily than the facts themselves. When once the facts 
are recalled the mind classifies them, and reasoning proceeds 
spontaneously, or can be carried forward intentionally, with 
ease. It is well known that many can not recollect dates, 
and some find difliculty with proper names. Yet without 
names and dates the vision of history is nebulous. To refer 
to a huge work, to read an article of many pages in fine print

in order to authenticate a single fact, date, or name, when its 
relation to history or to the unfolding of truth has long been 
known, is tedious and an unprofitable outlay of time. The 
author of the present work has attempted to supply just what 
the Sabbath-school teacher, ordinary reader or student of the 
Bible needs; an answer to every question of fact which can be 
asked concerning the history, contents and collateral relations 
of the Bible, the question with its answer isolated and com- 
plete. Vast labor has been expended and every accessible 
source of information explored in the preparation and ar- 
rangement of this multitude of questions and answers. It 
would be too much to claim for it absolute freedom from 
error, for the Bible itself declares, ''I have seen an end of 
all perfection," or to assume that every answer would com- 
mand the assent of all critics. But we have examined it suf- 
ficiently to see that it is far more reliable and discriminating 
than some widely circulated and pretentious works. 

We introduce the ''Bible Student's Cyclopaedia," under the 
conviction that it will meet a known and felt want.

CHAPTER XXXVI. 

CHEISTIAN EYIDENCE. 

1. The reasons for recehing the Bible as a divine book. 

2. External evidences, 
Internal evidences, 
Collateral evidences. 

3. x\rguments establishing the authenticit}' and genuine- 
ness of the Scriptures, and the proofs of the Bible arising from 
miracles and the fulfilment of prophecy. 

4. A book is authentic when it is written bv the person 
whose name it bears; it is genuine when the incidents it con- 
tains are true and not fictitious. 

5. The question of authenticity* refers to the author of the 
book, the genuineness to the truth of the narrative. The 
' ' Innocents Abroad " is an authentic book because written by 
]\Iark Twain to whom it is ascribed, but not a genuine book 
because not a record of facts. The ' ' Travels of Anacharsis the 
Younger " is a genuine book, being a true description of the 
manners, customs, and ceremonies of the ancient Greeks, but 
not an authentic book because not written by the Scythian 
philosopher, but in the eighteenth centur}- by Barthelemy. 
Irving's ' ' Histor}^ of Columbus '"' is both authentic and genu- 
ine being a true history^ and worthily honored with the name 
of the distinguished author by whose pen it professes to have 
been written.

6. From the quotations of the Scriptures which are found 
in the writings of the early fathers. 

From the ancient versions of the Bible. 

From the decisions of early and learned counsels. 

In early controversies between Christians and their oppo- 
nents the genuineness of the books was unquestioned. 

The reverent and scrupulous care of copyists in all ages. ^ 

8. Josephus. 

9. ]More than two hundred. 

10. From quotations in ancient manuscripts. 

11. ' ' It is ordained that nothing beside the canonical Scrip- 
tures be read in the church under the name of divine Scriptures. *' 
Then follows the enumeration of our Xew Testament books. 

12. The Jews as a people, for long ages before Christ came, 
believed the statements of the Old Testament. 

13. ^Multitudes of people, beginning at Jerusalem and ex- 
tending far in all directions, accepted the Scriptures as the rule 
of their lives. 

14. By suffering untold tortures and sacrificing their lives 
rather than deny Christ. Some perished by fire, some by 
drowning, some by crucifixion, some by the sword, some by 
star\^ation, some by cold, some by stoning; they were stabbed 
with forks of iron, torn by wild beasts, had their limbs torn 
asunder, their tongues cut out, their skins plucked ofi", and 
were tortured in ever}^ horrible way which the ingenuity of 
men could devise.
